I am a computing teacher at a Scottish secondary school and currently my first year classes are learning about the laws regarding copyrighted downloads and such.

I was wondering if there are any artists that use this group and if so would you mind giving me a bit of information about how illegal downloads affect you? The kids know that more downloads = less money for the artist but beyond that they don't really know much. It'd be good to have some inside info here if at all possible to help the pupils understand how illegal downloads affect people.

If anyone was able to help me out I could speak to you 1-1 with how I could incourporate your stories into the lessons.
